[Swift is avoiding video this time for a good reason, though it's not that hard to figure out how he's feeling from just his voice. He is obviously not happy and his voice is low and quiet and rather tightly controlled.]

Some assistance, please, if you would. It seems I've been locked into my room and I'd rather not jump out the window if I can help it.

[He pauses for a moment there, silent.]

Seel is gone, which is for the best for now. At least you won't have to fight him to get in. I'm not sure if he left the front door unlocked either, though I doubt it. Do what you have to, I suppose. Although I'm sure there are more than a few of you who would be happy to just leave me here.

[He probably shouldn't have said that, but he's irritated.]

Regardless, I would be grateful. I'll find some way to repay you once I can see more than the walls.

[That's...different, but considering he can barely hear what's going on through two doors, it could be wonderful for all he knows. Really, anything that gets him out is wonderful. And at least it wounds like he won't have to make Seel replace it.

He feels just a little bit awkward calling through the bedroom door, but. It's all he can do at the moment.]

I don't know what he did to this one but I doubt he made it easy to open.

[ There's a laugh, outside the door, and then curling through the air, a song, like liquid gold, coaxing, tugging, a whisper, a request, a memory of this is now, this is then, this is what should be

The bolts slide back, and the lock clicks open. ]

Swift?

[That went far faster than he had anticipated and after carefully trying the door again and finding that it opens just fine, he steps out of the room, trying not to look too shocked. He should know better by now.

It isn't until he's out of the room that he realizes that the bruise on his cheek probably looks even worse up close, and he drops his eyes to the floor and pulls his sleeves down over his wrists to hide the ones there where Seel had grabbed him to drag him into the room.]

Here. Thank you. I appreciate your help. I'm not sure what I would have done if I'd been stuck in there any longer.
